  1. XaW - Marine FC - Season 2029/30 (Season 6) - Sky Bet League One Squad | Transfers | Finances Well, turns out League One is rather easy! Or at least, we are a better team than I knew. But considering Rochdale almost finished in the playoffs this season, and that we beat them in the Vanarama National a few years ago, I guess these leagues are quite close. And considering we also won the EFL Trophy this season, we pretty much did as well as we could possibly do. Based on my previous experiences, the Championship is one of the hardest leagues to get out off, so I fully expect to stay here for a few seasons now that we had a rapid rise up to it. I just hope we start to get in some money as the facilities are starting to sorely lack upgrades now. I still get in some talented players, but I think we've almost reached a plateau for now. Perhaps the improved reputation will help though. FA Cup: We beat Mansfield, Barrow, and Middlesbrough before we lost to Manchester City in the 4th round. Carabao Cup: We lost to Watford in the 1st round. EFL Trophy: We got a group with Port Vale, Fleetwood, and Aston Villa u21. We finished 2nd and qualified for the knockout rounds. There we beat Crewe, Salford, Notts County, and Chesterfield to reach the final. There we beat Lincoln City to claim the trophy! Best players from the academy: Rakeem Hughes-Mason 26e - Not as good as last year, but still our leading man up front. Kyle McLean 28b - Mostly 2nd choice left back, but had an amazing season and slowly got more and more starts. Some incredible assists too! Jason Fitzgerald 27g - A strong season from our main goalkeeper. New club records: Most clean sheets in a season - Jason Fitzgerald 27g - 14 clean sheets No new upgrades accepted this season. U18s They won the U18 Youth Alliance League North-West this season. FA Youth Cup: They beat Huddersfield, Wrexham, and Reading before they lost to Aston Villa in the 4th round. U18 Youth Alliance Cup: They drew Bradford City, Blackpool, Tranmere, and Notts County in the group stage and finished 1st to qualify for the knockout rounds. There they beat Barnsley and Rochdale to reach the final. There they lost on pens to Morecambe.

  2. Yeah, I just find it easier to just let the forum do the work when I find a logo and paste it in here. Also, I use this site to remove backgrounds, if there are any.
  3. Sorry about that, I just like the feature and your team happened to be the (un)lucky one!
  4. I got the skin from @TCSSkin, which allows me to click on the picture and it shows, like this:
  5. Well, I can confirm that docking points is indeed possible in the game. I'm in 2029 and about to start the season and Sheffield Wednesday just got docked 12 points for going into administration.
  6. I can't guarantee when/if the next versions comes along, so if you want to play, then just go ahead. And yes, I would advise you to tick that box.
  7. CTRL + Right click and "edit image", you can chose the resolution of images here on the forum.
  8. XaW - Marine FC - Season 2028/29 (Season 5) - Sky Bet League Two Squad | Transfers | Finances Turns out League Two isn't that hard! After Rochdale did a double promotion, we couldn't be that much worse and just dominated the league. I think this has probably been one of the most surprisingly dominating seasons I've ever had in FM. I had hopes we could fight for a playoff spot after we finished in 10th last season, but this major dominance was just amazing. I've thrown in more and more youth players this season, and that makes it even better. They are showing they can fight at this level, and I'm really happy with how well most of them have done. The development of many of them have been amazing. Now, we just have to stay up in League One next season, but considering Rochdale did without much issue, I have hopes we can continue to compete. Also, Tranmere did not get promoted, so we are officially the 3rd best team from Merseyside. Now, we look towards Everton! FA Cup: We beat Grimsby Town and Radcliffe before we lost to Stoke in the 3rd round. Carabao Cup: We beat MK Dons before we lost to Bolton in the 2nd round. EFL Trophy: We got a group with Wolves u21s, Rotherham, and Carlisle. We finished 2nd and qualified for the knockout rounds. There we lost to Doncaster in the 2nd round. Best players from the academy: Rakeem Hughes-Mason 26e - An amazing season with loads of goals. Have changed nationality to England, but still has 6 goals in 5 matches for Antigua & Barbuda. Ben Jordan 26g - Ben had an amazing development last season and are now our first choice left back. Crazy many assists this season. Jason Fitzgerald 27g - Became our new first choice goalkeeper this season and did well. New club records: Most goals in a season - Rakeem Hughes-Mason 26e - 40 goals Most league goals in a season - Rakeem Hughes-Mason 26e - 36 goals Most player of the match awards in a season - Rakeem Hughes-Mason 26e - 11 PoMs Most league apps - Sol Solomon - 262 apps Most league goals - Manassé Mampala - 110 goals Youngest player - Martin Vasko 29a - 15 years, 117 days Highest transfer fee received - Raphael Hughes 26b - £657k to Blackburn Fastest goal - Isaac Dean 28a - 19 seconds No new upgrades accepted this season. U18s They finished 3rd in the U18 Youth Alliance League North-West this season. FA Youth Cup: They beat Rotherham, Port Vale, Nottingham Forest, Stoke, and Barnsley before they lost to Manchester City in the 6th round. U18 Youth Alliance Cup: They drew Bradford City, Stockport, Lincoln City, and Blackpool in the group stage and finished 2nd to qualify for the knockout rounds. There they lost to Wigan in the Quarter final.

  9. My striker has 35 goals in 35 matches so far this season...
  10. I'm in league two with worse facilities managing Marine, so no. But you need to chose the right category though. What trait are you trying to remove?
  11. They are there, but you need to look for the wording. One of my players has "Places shots" and if ask for a new trait I can ask for this: Which is essentially, cancel the trait.
  12. You don't need custom DB, just load more players from Africa when setting up the database. I always do this: For all continents when I start saves, and it makes at least all national teams and all teams in the continental competitions always be full of players comparable to what they have in real life. Here are some random teams and nations in my save. Only in 2029, but still. And I don't have any African leagues loaded in my save. But the nations and teams still have full squads with a healthy mix of newgens coming through. And it also don't add much to processing time either, compared to adding a ton of leagues. So unless you want to follow the African leagues, I'd say load more players instead of adding leagues.
  13. Hey, yeah, it should work, but I always suggest to create a test run for about 5 seasons before committing to any custom files. Especially if you use any other files with it, as I haven't tested anything with other files.
  14. What happens to the Bosman verdict? Will it still happen? Can you create a world where it didn't, technically in the editor?
